Abstract:
Utilizing radiologic C-arm control, percutaneous needle biopsy of the spine may be performed safely at the T11 through L5 levels. Its main advantage is the avoidance of performing an open surgical biopsy; however, it is an exacting technique and, even when done properly, the procedure may result in nondiagnostic tissue.
